We're seeing it in Canada and (from what I've heard) in Europe, too, but to a lesser degree.
r/professors feels like a far more hard-up community these days. It's rough to see educators (especially in the US) having to leave the profession because the screws are being tightened too much.
That all said, education is a means for proving effort and expertise and will never completely go out of fashion. For now, it's just sleeping unfortunately.

Like you, my education(s) were very breadth-y and contributed far more to my sense of the world and my profession than the topic area spelled out on my parchment.

In Canada, we have a public broadcaster that fulfills that mandate: access across the country with strong public funding for quality journalism (the stuff that requires lots of money to do).
There are private outfits here that aren't constrained by that mandate and can do the sort of niche work that a public broadcaster cannot. For those, money and a strong, reliable funding mechanism is required. Oftentimes, these outlets take the risks that the public broadcaster cannot.
My view is that we need both for a functioning system, and because of that, paywalls are required to make the whole thing work.

All men/male presenting people are tied to the patriarchal monolith somehow, but when others believe in unidirectional bad guys and pin it all on that tie, what's left to do? There's no goodwill left.
I hope things are better for you now.

It was in such poor taste, but like a car accident in progress, I couldn't turn away.Well put. Did you see Frost's initial hit piece video where he drags out all members of Second Wind for a lashing?
